Yesterday was a long day. Well a short day really. Early release for the girls, pick them up, grab a few things from the store head home. Make lunch, go hang out at the playground for an hour with the dog and the girls, head home. Sit on my ass falling asleep while the oldest got her homework done.
Then well instead of just taking a nap i decided to make that apple spice cake. It turned out well. But then when that was finished it was time to make some pizza dough. And prepare the rest of the toppings for it (cook some nice italian sausage, chop up various things mushrooms, olives, pepperocini, grate the cheese, make the sauce). Then the cake came out of the oven and it was time to start making pizzas. Got them all started. Finished eating and then made some ice cream (to go with the cake).
Good thing it is a rest week, i don't have time to train with all this living going on. Got a decent nights sleep but still feel like just putting my head down and closing my eyes. I felt great on the ride in, legs felt alive. But man I'm freaking wiped out. I should have just taken the nap yesterday instead.
I'm looking forward to a weekend off the bike, well maybe i'll get on it for an hour or hour and a half just to get on it, but then again, I might not.
I was supposed to get some running in this morning. But i hit the snooze button and got another 15 minutes of pseudo sleep.
Lets go around the scene real quick like. I've got a handful of pages that have been opened all day. Might as well get this over with. interruptions be damned.
Start with this:
Playing For Change: Song Around the World "Stand By Me" from Playing For Change on Vimeo.
Holy crap. Ain't that awesome? Seriously. There are a whole bunch more of them in the series. and for more about the project check here: playingforchange.com/
Now Al Franken, soo freaking cool to see his delivery as he just completely undresses someone on the panel. That's really pretty damn cool. His delivery is perfect.
From there to England and Dave's pondering the the absurdity of passing a law to make it illegal to discriminate against anyone who is overweight. it is a good read.
Then swinging to running, a popular way people are trying to increase calories out, The times has a couple bits on that barefoot running stuff. A good look at the science (or lack of) behind it here, from the New York Times. Makes a lot of sense (esp the body compensating for it). Then a bit of an interview with that Born to run guy. His rational sounds even more flaky in person that it did on paper based on the video on that link.
Then from running to beer drinking. Rock Art has "won." Well that's awesome. But maybe I missed it in that first video. I guess the problem didn't come about until Rock Art decided to put a trademark on "Vermonster." That tipped off the Hansen company's lawyers. The agreement is that Rock Art won't make energy drinks and Monster won't sue. Hey that's all happy happy now. But damn talk about getting some insane advertising and positive publicity!
time to chill and hope That Change really does Come. It has been a long time coming.
A long time coming...
